New Custom Bow Calculator
We’ve put up some calculator pages to make it easier to see what our custom bow packages look like. The Calculator is simple to use. Just check off the features you would like to have for your custom recurve or longbow, and the total price appears in the box near the bottom. The totals are automatically adjusted also when you deselect an item. Go ahead a try it by clicking here or just look for the “custom orders” link at the top of every page.
When you’ve narrowed down your choices you can hit the submit button and get a copy of the details in your e-mail. Cari-bow will get a copy also, and we can communicate if you have further questions. We hope this new tool helps you in the decision making process!
Understanding Draw Force Curves
One of the biggest buzz word phrases in archery is “draw force curves”. If you have interest in what a draw force curve is, and how to interpret one, you might want to check out my page on the topic here. I really enjoy using a bow that handles well, packs a lot of energy to the arrow, and still shoots smoothly. I have avoided making bows that simply throw arrows at a high velocity, in favor of designs that will shoot smoothly with minimum noise. I find these bows to be just as efficient as the “power bows” and they are a joy to shoot. You don’t need a degree in physics to understand a draw force curve, so please check the page out if you have interest! I think you’ll have a little more understanding about what your fellow archers are aiming for.
